Monsanto started as a chemical company founded 1901. Later, the company became a major producer of genetically engineered crops.
In this episode, Cristina shares a brief history of Monsanto, to get all of us up to speed on the topic she wants to cover: Leydy Pech, the Maya woman who defeated Monsanto. Before getting to that, it would be good to know what Monsanto actually is.
Books mentioned: Seed Money: Monsanto’s Past and Our Food Future by Bartow J. Elmore.The World According to Monsanto by Marie-Monique RobinThe Monsanto Papers: Deadly Secrets, Corporate Corruption, and One Man’s Search for Justice by Carey Gillam
